PIC. Another one of the forthcoming
Studebaker, and looking rather splendid in its completed form. Will it be available next week? I don't know yet. Watch this space. MRRP is ?130

I am very pleased to see the master of the 1934 Ford 5-window Coupe on BRK's diary!

This is a beauty, and Brooklin proved it can master the complex masking around the rear edge of the doors and the paint break beneath the chrome trim piece. Nice job! Terrific color combination, too.
I'm a little surprised that the interior isn't blue, but I suppose it wasn't on the car Brooklin measured. No problem?my trusty little bottles of Testor's enamel will fix that right up!

Rick I agree with you about the blue interior but the model is still outstanding.

Yes it is, Bob. It'll be fun repainting the interior in some cool blue and beige scheme. I'm no good at repainting exteriors, but I have had a lot of fun and success redoing interiors.

I saw photos of the car measured when I was last at the factory.
The interior was very plain and finished in off-white. I thought it was odd too, but that's the way it was and the car is totally original...scruffy but complete - a bit like me really, although how complete I still am I'm not sure.

Another example of Brooklin's ever increasing level of authenticity.
The accurate two toning done in those shades of blue make for a beautiful replica of the actual '55 Studebaker 4 door sedan. I am old enough to remember when in mid '55 Studebaker came out with their new wrap around windshield. As a 10 year old, I was fascinated by it.
Can't wait to order this Studabaker. It's gorgeous.

Well, what goes around, comes around I guess (PIC).

The 50+ year old Dinky was not too far off the mark, though it is a 1957 model.
